[]

Here’s where the candidates stand on the issues:Environment and energyGarrity and Shapiro both want to increase the state’s energy output, but differ on which types to prioritize.
His most comprehensive proposal, called the “Lightning Plan,” aims to increase energy production and jobs, and lower prices for utilities.
The plan would rewrite a tax credit program to benefit clean energy producers, create a new board specifically for permitting energy projects, and require electric companies to buy more renewables.
As a candidate for governor, Garrity has not focused on environmental protection or climate change, but rather on how she would increase energy production.
Garrity also supports eliminating a 5.9% state tax on the sale of electricity, which utilities pass on to customers.
